Part B. Consider a 2kg ball tied with a string and swing

Part B. Consider a 2kg ball tied with a string and swing into a vertical circle of radius 0.5m as shown in the figure. g D C A 30 B The speed at each of the points (A, B, C, and D) are given in the second column of the table. Note that we are using a different coordinates for each of the point so that the posive x-axis is always along the radius and pointing inward to the center of the circle. Fill in the table, starting from left to right for each row. Our goal is to calculate the tension in the string at each of the points - so we will work on the x-axis only. In the table, W is the weight of the ball (with magnitude mg) which is a vector. Wx is the x-component of W.
